November, ready or not


After a beautiful spooky sunset, we had about 50 trick-or-treaters knocking on the door.  The costumes seemed especially cute this year, but maybe that's because the kids weren't covered with ponchos, plastic bags and raincoats.  A dry Halloween in Seattle is pretty rare.

Speaking of cute, here's Amanda and the girls out on the town last night with their friends.  Twisp throws a big small town bash on Halloween. Most of the activities, including bonfires, are concentrated in the Berger Street neighborhood, which is nice for the parents.

The girls look a bit excited...


Our television is downstairs, so while handing out candy I listened to the World Series game on the radio, which was relaxing and nostalgic. In grade school during recess, I remember crowding around the boys with transistor radios.  And what an engaging series, huh?  The final exciting game tonight-- and a distraction from the current horrors.

Somehow I managed to keep my mitts out of the candy bowl, but I had a few slices of this little KuchenMeister (Cake Master) Amaretto Liqueur Cake with my tea. Imported from Germany (where they know a thing or two about cake) it was moist and delicious.  Of all places, it came from the Cost Plus store in Las Vegas.  Not often I would recommend packaged cake, but if you can find it, buy it.
